V and I went to see the Julie Nord exhibiton at Nordiska Akvarell Museet. V thought the drawings where scary and she wanted to leave after five minutes.
Julie Nord is an artist I like and often refer to when I teach, so I had really looked forward to see things IRL. The size of the works what was suprised me the most, I knew that they where big but still I was amazed how HUGE some of the drawings was. Her way to handle the inc is interesting for me as an artist and I must say it was a bit dissapointing. Here work is nice from a distance but upcloe they lose their charm, I can see that she was short of time and the lines are sometimes a bit half done. (You know how lines is important for me!) It´s here compositions that strikes me as most interesting: how she leaves some spaces white and how she dares to make things black. And also the stories that are told. How she works with color is still something to think about. I´m not sure if i like it or not. I prefer her black/white work. GO see!

Went to the fleamarket and V bought herself a jumping rope (is that what it´s called?) and then she practised and practised and then she practised some more. Finally she got the hang of it and she was very proud. The first thing she did this morning was to out on cloths and go outside and jump.

We are at the summerhouse over the weekend. Spring is here and it´s just super nice. Autumn is my favourite season but every time pring comes it takes my breath away. Being here in April is sitting infront of the fireplace in the evening with some red wine and book that was supposed to be read ages ago and then waking up early morning to birds singing and sun finding it´s way inside.

I hope you enjoy your weekend!

This semesters teaching is almost over for me. These shots are from the last lesson with my illustration class. Talanted and lovley student, I wish I could continue following them in their work. This project was about drawing big and doing something together. They choose to draw a street.

Tonight I had a lovley dinner with Karin, Elisabeth and Pernilla. When I bought the wine at systembolaget I was asked for ID at the counter, there is an age limit in sweden, one has to be 20. I will live on this forever:)
